It's starting to pick up a little in Clondalkin now. Just had two flashes in only a couple of minutes, followed by lengthy rumbles. But, there's a longish gap between the flashes and rumbles. It's still sunny as well, but the sky across the way looks quite dark.

Over Swords now. Rain just starting.

Knocked the power off here for like 30 seconds. The first lightning strike was like an explosion!

My sister, who's in Naas, reckons it's heading this direction. The thunder is certainly getting louder, and she described it there as "insane." Just looking across the way to my south, there seems to be lighter skies, yet it's quite dark almost overhead.

Still thundering away here in Maynooth.

Heavy showers & dark clouds over northside cork city

Just a few pics of the storm as it passed over head unfortunately no lightening pics:(

few unmerciful bangs of thunder here, jaze :eek:

Trebor176

Just had a large flash there. There's a very dark cloud just over the houses, but there's still a biggish gap between the flash and rumble.

Lashing in Blanchardstown we've just had a flash of lightning and thunder

nudger

Big claps of thunder D15, gone very dark, rain on the way.

Trebor176

And now heavy rain in D22.

I tried stitching 3 pics of the cell passing through Dublin airport just now, turned out ok

I see all the dark skies that bypass here that go up over Nass/Dublin.

I've no idea why they always just miss here ?

Larbre34

Bit of a re-run of last Friday here in Dun Laoghaire, all the good stuff missing us to the north west thanks to the Mountains, dark over the City, clear blue skies out to sea

zenno

Not much happening at the moment in Swords Co. Dublin, a bit of wind and some fast moving clouds trying to make something happen.

Bright and breezy in Castlebar....much fresher.

I'd swear I saw a little funnel forming in Achill earlier, was there for a minute or two, then popped back up into the cloud.

It was like a nuclear strike. It lit up my office and its daytime! The thunder that followed shook the floor. Love it! But unfortunately its killed my communications. Phone and broadband are out. Not good for business.

Penname

Was in Maynooth for that last cell so pulled in to watch it for a while. Some beautiful mammatus at the back. Got a shot but not great with phone. Some great lightning and very heavy hail. There's another to the south now so hoping it mosies on up Kilcock-wards.

pad199207

Ooh quite a bang of thunder there to the south its like boom boom boom boom across the sky

Any sign of it hitting Naas?

pad199207

Nice fork just swept across the sky there!

Trebor176

The thunder has started again here. It's obviously just what Naas are getting.
